I've always thought Kogi comprises of okun, igala, Ebira and a handful of Nupe people.

The appeal failed just like I thought. The review of the incident was always going to be independent of any other red card decision. The kid got overzealous with his tackle and the call was the right one if you ask me. I always say, don't get into any situation where you are forcing the referee to make a decision against you.
Simple!

I don't know why fans keep pointing to examples of independent cases in different matches officiated by different referees.

If another referee officiating another match decides to give yellow card for a similar offence, it doesn't mean this referee that gave a ref card was wrong. Nketiah's challenge was reckless and the ref made the right call. I guess fans are just angry some of these decisions are not always taken by other refs in the same situation for reasons best known to them

This lawyer go just chop Hushpuppi money. See the way the lawyer dey talk anyhow like he is doing PR for one of those Nigerian politicians caught stealing money. The lawyer hasn't been through discovery (where they get to review the State's evidence against a defendant) and is opening mouth to talk yanfu yanfu brazenly. Even the lawyer sef is a scam artist and is saying what Hushpuppi would like to hear so he can chop his money.

Unfortunately for Hushpuppi, this is not a matter of sentiment but paper trails. Even the best lawyer won't be able to defend against paper trail. All the lawyer will do in the end is get him to plead out for a lesser sentence. Hushpuppi needs to get a lawyer in Los Angeles where he will be tried who has a good relationship with the prosecutor and can cut a favourable plea deal in exchange for snitching. He should learn from Invictus.
This was exactly my thought when I read the lawyer's statement. There's definitely no way he can spin the story/case. The FBI guy's affidavit already shows they got enough on him to put him away. The jury will definitely put the hammer to the nail on his coffin on this case when they consider the COVID-19 economic stimulus scam side to his case.

He's definitely going down maybe not for hacking, but money laundering. The best he will do is to cut deal and snitch on the real guys doing the hacking whom he launders for. Outside that, the lawyer will just make enough money to buy a fast car from the case and move on to the next criminal that needs an attorney grin

Save the stories for Monaco fans. Conte knows the best way to use that liability which is to bench him and only bring him on for the last 20 minutes after taking off a winger and putting two DMs behind him.

Notice he never came on for Kante or Matic in Conte's winning season, rather he comes on for Pedro and formation switches from 3-4-3 to 3-5-2 to accommodate the luxury midfielder.

I am one of those who say put Cesc on when the game is late and we need a goal. Football is about risk and reward. The risk of starting the liability is in losing the game before it begins. If you have only one point with ten minutes to go, you might as well go for the reward of 3 points and risk losing one.


Don't cc me into rubbish about the perennial substitute again.

Maybe if he started the match, we would be 3-1 down at that stage instead of the rare 0-0. That's why we achieved 93 points that season, by glueing the liability to the bench.

I think ceballos was joyous because that thru pass was used judiciously by Saka and slotted home by Auba. If it was possible to record assist for two people I would say both Ceballos and Saka deserve to get the assist for that Auba's goal

Funny you man.

You either didn't watch the video you posted or you were baised in your view. OG's contribution was never in doubt. I didn't say he was tournament MVP, I said he was an integral part of the set up that helped Mbappe and Griezmann lead France to the title. At this point I rest my case, as your own evidence couldn't convince you.

No be everything dem dey show for highlight brother. They're some little details of how he brings mbappe and griezmann together, he movement that might distract defenders for those duo to capitalize. Those details can be seen in highlight. Not saying we need giroud, especially with our kinda midfielders presently, but he was really integral in France run to winning the world cup

Meanwhile, Lloris deserve that world cup. Mehn, see saves.!!
Can u please show us clips of Giroud doing some these things u speak about?

You really need to define this integral part u keep talking about honestly. As in I watched the most of those matches live and I can tell u Mbappe was the one all over the place running the length and breadth of the pitch. There's just no excuse u can give that will justify Giroud not having a shot on goal when players like Parvard, Hernandez etc that don't play anywhere close to the final third have not just shots on target, but even goals......smh

Even Firminho that has come under fire at loserpool recently for not scoring like a striker should still always manage to test goal keepers despite visibly feeding Sallah and Mane. Giroud na dirty abeg!

This is a compilation of all Las Blues goals at the 2018 world cup, point out as many goals as u can count in which Giroud's "unselfish play" was the reason those goals were scored by Mbappe, Pogba, Griezmann, etc.

So how come he played every single game? How come he was preferred over others like Laca at CF. Tell us o with tactical explain. No shalaye... Lol
You claimed Giroud was the sole reason Mbappe and Griezmann had 4 goals each in a bid to explain why Giroud (a top 9) fired blank all through the tournament. I showed you that claim is not only false, but nonsense at best. The 2 players had 8 goals between them and only one of those goals was assisted by Giroud. Eez like you don't even know how disgraceful it is that a striker cannot record one shot on target at the world cup despite his team playing to the end of the tournament. huh

Only Deschamps knows why he keeps starting Giroud ahead of other strikers. The same way Mr. Good Ebening knows why he kept on handing starting roles to Willock and Guendouzi ahead of Ceballos, Ozil, etc.

No. I am not comparing Auba and OG. Haba! Bros.

I am saying that quick players playing besides Giroud will score lots of goals because of his quality holdup play. He won't score but will create spaces for those besides him to. That's the job Lacazette has that he is not doing well enough. That's why Arteta has to hope on Nketiah.

Giroud was the reason Griezmann and Mbappe could score as much goals in the WC. And Deschamps acknowledged it by giving him playing time despite him not scoring himself.
No dey talk this thing for outside o. He has just one assist in that same world cup while Griezmann has 2 assist, Lucas Hernandez has 2 assists as well. How in is Giroud the reason they could score more goals?

E be like say u want make we drag Giroud today sha....

Giroud was more of a passenger in that world cup. He didn't give any man of the match performance in any of the matches he played. Anthony Griezmann was man of the match in 3 games, Mbappe was man of the match in 2 different matches, Ngolo Kante a defensive midfielder was even man of the match vs Denmark, even Umtiti wey be defender gave man of the match performance vs Belgium.

How is Giroud responsible for anything with his 0 shots on target as a striker?

So the coaches who see him real life gets deceived and we who can't tell the shape of his front teeth don't. Arsenal fans i hail una.
Maybe "deceived" was not the right word I set out go use there, but the message I was trying to pass is simple; his visible speed influences coaches' decision to play him at that LW which obviously means playing him out of position.

Are you undermining Giroud's contribution to France's success? You just complained of lack of holdup play. How did you think Sanchez thrived at Arsenal? if we still had Giroud instead of probably our attack would defend more and Auba would have more space to score more just as Griezmann and Mbappe did playing both sides of Giroud.

His watch isn't over yet, he is still doing it at Chelsea and probably gets better praise there. Arsenal fans should learn to appreciate their own first.
You are missing the point. Giroud's goal drought at the world cup is only being waved away because quality players like Griezman ( he scored 4), Mbappe ( He scored 4 also), Pogba etc scored when Giroud wasn't.

Now take away Auba from current Arsenal team and replace him with Giroud the hold-up play master and see if Ceballos, Nketiah and Pepe will be scoring like dem Giroud's team mates in the Les Blues were doing while Giroud concentrate on his hold-up play striking role lipsrsealed

I already said we can't afford that luxury anymore. We need a striker scoring like Auba does and maybe if he comes with a little bit of hold-up play then perfect! But saying we miss Giroud because of hold-up play? I don't agree with that abeg.

I laughter cheesy,r see how you're packaging bad ball control from a professional footballer in his 30s, His ability and everything footwork on the ball is next to poor, it hurts and turns my belly, buh I'm afraid I'll be tagged.
I fail to see why Arterta and the previous mangers can't see he is CF, Even his blood brother attested to this, just give it to his feet or space and he'll score 50. Play to his strength for God sake.

The entire attack from the left is damn dull and far from what a team looking for UCL football to look like.A proper LW threatening from that flank could have pinned them backm

Again take Saka out and there'll be Zero creativity in this team, and we'll have to rely on cut backs and cross from full backs like in the Emery days.
I think the problem is the coaches get deceived by Auba's speed so they believe he can play that LW. The fact that he scores despite playing that side of the attack makes it even worse. They try to kill two birds with one stone.

Also, due to Auba's poor ball control most times he gets easily isolated when playing CF until he drifts to the right or left to get the ball

1. It's called hold up play. That's one major area we will miss Giroud, cos even Lacazette can't do it as good as he does it. A good hold-up striker allows those around him to fluorish with his ball winning and control, and ability to hassle defenders and win arial balls. When I say we miss Giroud (and was attacked for it), this was exactly what I meant. Now Chelsea are enjoying what we had. For him to play every match at the world cup for France to win it despite not scoring is a testament to what he contributes to the team.

5. Your fear for Martinelli is justified. Even Pepe would be looking at the kid with one eye, begging. Saka is becoming a phenomenon, he will drive competition accross the forward line. Martinelli can gain inspiration from him too.
Unfortunately we cannot afford the luxury France enjoys. France can afford to start a striker who would register 0 short on target at the world cup for the sake of link-up play with other quality players in the team like Griezman and Mbappe upfront, Paul Pogba doing split in the middle passes, Blaise Matuidi doing the dirty work in the middle of the park, dem Parvard holding it back and decent full backs getting the attack started.....Arsenal can't afford this luxury.

If this present Arsenal should have a Giroud upfront, we will be registering maybe 1 goal every 3 games sef. His watch is over bro

I wouldnt blame the kid. It was almost a 50-50 ball and a part collision. It took VAR time to make a decision, which for me was wrong. A yellow could have suffice them, but ho, Leicester is VAR baby. Vardy made a worse tackle at Mustafi but went away with it, why kill a fly with a sledge hammer. When VAR couldn't conclude the mumu ref could have let it pass, but like all English refs who have beef with us, he wanted to make good use of an opportunity to make his poor self popular. I won't mention his name, he is useless.
The ref made the right call. It was a deserved red card from a reckless play there. Immediately the tackle was shown on replay the first time I already saw a red card coming Nketiah's way. You don't let you boot flying up like that in a football match; that's not monkey post street football na.

The only doubt to the decision which would've made it yellow card was if the tackle had missed the player; obviously that was not the case.

If refs start letting tackles like that slide, Arsenal would probably lose the bright lights in our team like Auba, Saka, Tierney, etc to injury before half of the season sef.
European Football (EPL, UEFA, La Liga) › Re: Arsenal Fans Thread: The Red & White Army: 2025/2026 EPL Champions! by BlueRayDick:
We started well, but got undone with Nketiah's reckless challenge. I know the boy was just being passionate so he won't be getting knocks fron me for that.

1. I don't know if this is possible at age 31 for a professional footballer, but Auba needs to work on his ball control abilities. He has the speed, skill and drive to go toe-to-toe with most world class strikers, he just needs to work on that ball control. While we were under pressure and the ball was getting ballooned in the air, there were few instances Auba just needed to contest and win the ball in midfield and pass it on to oncoming players so we can either recycle possession or start an attack, but he just can't win any of those balls. I know he is heads and heels above Giroud when it comes to goal scoring ability, but Giroud would win those balls and have the game settled.

2. Arteta should learn to make the right substitutions. Willock was a wrong sub that shouldn't have happened. He posed little attacking threats and was practically a defensive liability towards the end of the match. Pepe coming in at that time would've been a better option because he would get the Leicester left back busy and prevent him from joining attack.

3. Nketiah needs to learn how to keep his head high. He shouldn't allow his spirit to dampen with the red card. Just keep.his head up when going into a challenge.

4. Martinez is really showing he can displace Leno any day Leno decides to turn out woeful performance. I think this is good for the team.

5. No current Arsenal player brings what Saka brings to the team. The young talent is a gem that needs to be treasured and not over-used. I fear for Martinelli with the way Saka is owning both sides of the wings any day he's called upon. I hope the young Brazilian's development will not be restricted to cup games alone.

All in all, it was a nice game which we didn't win because we were unlucky. I hope Arteta can fully get it right next season having more quality additions to the team.
